Everyone loves discovering new artists 'before they were big'. The comedy music game offers a unique opportunity to find artists that are doing something really innovative but really underground

White Chedda (out of Chicago) is a perfect example of a group you've never heard of, making music you'll be proud to say you 'discovered first' before everyone else is hooked...

4. It's Everywhere

Comedy in Music can be found in the last places that you'd expect to find it. Jimmy Fallon's team proved it when they took NBC's Brian Williams and turned him into a rapper...

3. It's Original

Adding Comedy to Music gives the music layers of originality, instead of the same old pop beats being overplayed and overplayed some more. Good Comedy Music can strike multiple chords with an audience. A lot of other music can't

2. It's Hilarious

We're attracted to artists who are having fun. The music world tends to have a lot of folks who take themselves a bit too seriously. It's refreshing to see artists who let go and embrace the very human element of comedy.
